Mercy follows where I wander
Though I'm far away from home.
Gently whispering the promise
To go with me where I roam.

Mercy, you have been faithful to me,
Even when I sin or am to blame.
Once again I kneel before you.
Mercy, Jesus is your name.

I may wander through the valley
Or on heights of lonesome hill.
Far, far from your safety,
But you, O Mercy, follow still.

Drawn by castles of glory
Pride may press me to pursue.
But glory fades into ruin
When I hunger not for you.
